you're watching beyond one hundred days. a watershed moment for the european union, the german chancellor says europe's response to the migrant crisis will determine the union's fate. it is a highly charged debate, deep enough to make brexit a secondary issue at this two day summit. at home angela merkel is under severe pressure. unless they agree a common migration plan at this summit, her interior minister is threatening to close germany's border. but there are also deep concerns over worsening relations with the united states. at midnight the eu reciprocates, imposing new tarrifs on a whole list of american imports. meanwhile, theresa may has been pointing to some successes in the brexit negotiations, but at dinner tonight she will be pressed to get on with it. time, says the eu, is not on her side. also on the programme..... the date is set. president trump will meet president putin in helsinki on july 16th for a summit that is already making headlines. and...

all eyes are on all the world cup. england may be through but now it's all about the path ahead. get in touch with us using the hashtag... hello i am christian fraser in brussels, jane o'brien is in washington. time is running out. there are just 274 days left until britain leaves the european union. the summit was supposed to deliver the answers to the most intractable of problems — how to avoid a hard border in ireland. but another deadline has come and gone. and with no real progress the brexit agenda has been pushed to october. arriving in brussels, the uk prime minister admitted that both the uk and eu want to work towards a future brexit deal "at a faster pace" than previously. i look forward to talking with fellow leaders about the very

good progress we have made on the withdrawal agreement and looking forward to securing our strong future partnership which i believe is in the interests of both of the eu and the uk. i think both sides are keen to continue that work at a faster pace than we have until now, and we would welcome that. not that brexit is dominating. the focus is nearly entirely on migration. so far this year, 44 thousand people have crossed the mediterranean, it's a tiny fraction of those who applied for asylum in 2015/16. (jane) but today there's a new populist government in italy but today there's new populist government in italy that's refusing to take any more. and in berlin enormous pressure on the chancellor to reduce the numbers that are crossing the german border. speaking to the german parliament this morning, ahead of coming to brussels, was an emotional angela merkel. translation: europe faces a lot of challenges

but the migration could be a question of destiny for the european union. either we manage it in a way that africa and other countries believe that we are led by values and that we are based on multilateralism and not on unilateralism or nobody will believe in our value system that has made us so strong. this is why all this is a mistake. to reach europe, migrants have to endure long and dangerous journeys across the sahara desert and the mediterranean sea or even the atlantic ocean. the busiest route is via the central mediterranean, with italy, spain and greece taking the vast majority of new arrivals. while the number of migrants arriving illegally in europe may be down on previous years, so is voter tolerance, and italy and greece, in particular, feel they are left alone to deal with arrivals. one increasingly popular

solution is so—called disembarkation centres outside the eu. there economic migrants could be identified, and sent home, while those with a right to asylum or refugee status could be given safe and legal passage to europe. this raises the obvious problem though of whether countries such as libya, niger and chad would be a) safe enough and b) willing enough to host such centres. for more on this leonard doyle joins us now from geneva. he is a spokesperson for the international organization for migration. in the lead 20 leaders say this is a good idea, let's have thesejumping off spots outside the eu but what would be the incentive for north africa? quite right and that is why the agency is concerned about this

pa rt the agency is concerned about this part of the ideas floating around and with the refugee agency we have put a proposal to the council which essentially looks at disembarkation within europe. this there's a possibility this could happen and north africa but it is with difficulty, countries might not be willing to do at protecting the rights of the refugees and migrants coming through is going to be a challenge. why is migration actually down? given the fact this is dominating the agenda and we have these government saying it is a huge problem, it has gone down. what has been working? one of the things that has been working as the horror show that people go through when they go through libya and they have ended up in essentially slave markets and that has been widely broadcast. that set a very pertinent signal to people who want a better life and think we can go to europe and they

have seen the reality of it, people are enslaved and abused and tortured ghost of it is not only in libya and because of libya but it is certainly a big part of the problem. one of the problems in the eu has been processing asylum seekers and they have gone some way in recent weeks in sort of finding a solution to that so that is going to be a new eu agency for processing asylum seekers, a bigger borderforce to keep boats from leaving the coast of libya. do you think those offer some solutions to the weight of numbers we have been talking about? your aperture finger on it, it is not so much the number of migrants going down, the previous ones are still any down, the previous ones are still a ny syste m down, the previous ones are still any system because everything the system tries do to take economic migrants and ask them to go home is scope to have a court challenge and legal obstacle. a lot of the su as you're getting its house in order, managing the process itself and at

the same time getting those out of the same time getting those out of the system and voluntarily home who really should not be here because they are not entitled to the protection of refugee status. at the same time opening up the legal channels so that europe was my population deficit of which is a real can be filled by skilled migrants coming in to do thejobs of europe was to have a healthy economic future. thank you. we now have a date for the july summit between president trump and vladimir putin they will meet in helsinki on the 16th. what is not in the diary is a meeting between president trump and the president of the european commission, jean—claude juncker. "difficulty in co—ordinating diaries" is the official reason given, despite the fact donald trump is coming here, to brussels, before helsinki, for a nato summit. last night the president gave us a clue as to why he might not be keen to meet with the eu commission.

last year with the european union, and we love the european union, we love the countries of the european union, but the european union was set up to take advantage of the united states. to attack our piggy bank. i've been talking to brexiteer—in chief, nigel farage, who's the co—chair of a eurosceptic group within the european parliament and of course good friends with donald trump. really interesting that on cars for arguments sake, he talks about the unfairness and imbalance between what is happening with american exports to europe, the charge 10% and european exports to america been charged 2.5%. what happens? the german car manufacturers association call for a free trade deal, ironically by threatening protectionism he is actually giving more oxygen to the arguments for free trade. but will the european commission, will brussels pick up the challenge

of the german car manufacturers association and say, ok, mr trump, we'll abolish tariffs on cars between the us and european union. actually what you find in the end is things are not as they seem. it is the european union, the outdated customs union project, this is where the real protectionism is. it's not with america. donald trump is off to meet president putin in helsinki next month. is he undermining the british position and should he be meeting vladimir putin? i think meeting putin is no bad thing. there is a concern, is this going to undermine nato? if he made some sort of bilateral deal with putin's russia, would it undermine nato? i think we are looking at this through the wrong end of the telescope. there is one thing undermining nato and bear in mind that there is the nato summit on the iithjuly, before his trip to the uk, and i think of all the things that will happen on that trump visit it is the nato

visit that could be the most confrontational. 29 members of nato, just more than a handful of them paying the bare minimum of 2% a year. how is that going to look if he's slapping nato chiefs over the wrist while currying favour with vladimir putin? he has been ever since the campaign talking about nato. i have been 100% behind him. i think it is an outrage that a country as wealthy as germany should deliberately be paying half into the club in terms of a contribution of what the rules say. this goes hand in glove don't forget with the development here of a european army which they want fully functional by 2025. i want european citizens to wake up that unless we start, and these are not trump's rules by the way, these are the rules of a nato club that trump now wants to enforce, unless we start to play the game with america on this there will not be any americans here, there won't be any nato. who would you rather put your faith in? nato backed by america

or mrjuncker? there is a tendency for donald trump to always see enemies in europe rather than friends. the transatlantic alliance they think is under real threat. trump loves europe. he loves the uk, he is half british himself. he loves france, he respects germany very deeply. italy very deeply. what people here don't yet understand but i do because i know the guy and the administration, he respects the nation states of europe. he has not quite so much respect for the artificial structures of the european union. it seems to me in washington that the eu is under so much pressure from within and without, how precarious as the eu itself? what is the sense you are getting from people there? i don't think there's

an extensional crisis right now from migration but i think what it is doing is driving these populist forces within europe which are perhaps more of an extensional threat to the eu. from a failure to get hold of migration we have got brexit, a populist government in italy, a hardline in austria and other countries. when they are negotiating the do not play hardball just on migration but many issues and it is the influence of nation states within the eu right now and the same threat is coming from overseas from the united states and there is deep concern here in the eu about what is going on with this relationship with donald trump will stop remember all the way back to the post—war years, an american president in solidarity with germany. now the european council

was saying to me last night to have an american president who sees enemies in europe rather than friends. donald trump is visiting wisconsin as he continues to?criticise harley davidson — the state's most famous business. earlier this week the? motorcycling? manufacturer announced it's moving jobs out of america because of tariffs? introduced as part of the trade battle started by mr trump. he's accused the company of waving the?white flag. chris buckler has been speaking to harley's workers about what side they're taking in the fight between the?american president, and the all—american brand president trump came here to wisconsin in order to try and talk about investment. he has been breaking ground at a site of an electronics factory expected to create up to 30,000 jobs. even more if you believe has twitter feed but he has been having quite a go at

harley davidson. they are blaming him for their decision to move production overseas because of those trade tariffs and that trade battle. harley—davidson has spent decades building an all—american image sold all over the world. but selling the distinctive roar of these engines has become an expensive rather than an easy ride. the company already has assembly plants in other countries but wisconsin is seen as the heart of harley—davidson. and in this sprawling site in the state viewed at its home workers are talking about tariffs and there is a nervousness that some jobs could head overseas. i'm a little worried but we will just wait and see what's going to happen. the tariffs imposed on the exports to europe are a result of the trade battle started by donald trump but here supporters ending

their shifts here don't seem to have lost faith in the present. president. i feel great, i love my company, i like my president and i am happy. it is all good. so you support them both? yes. i am happy with how the davidson and my president. i am happy with harley—davidson and my president. however everyone in wisconsin is aware that the president's policy could have an impact on harley. with harley—davidson just over there that must provide a lot of business for the area and yourself. yes, it does. a lot of businesses in this area. yet trump voters are remaining loyal to the president. he is what he is. bombastic and i think he is controversial but i think a lot of that is part of the way he wants to negotiate and get things done. it was in states like this that donald trump fired up his campaign. turning wisconsin republican red was an important part of his presidential victory and it is no surprise that he is back on the road campaigning here ahead of the congressional elections.

but the uncertainty about harley—davidson could hurt him. trump as far as i am concerned, i don't consider him america. he is our leader right now but harley— davidson will always be america. that sounds like a real warning to donald trump. don't mess with it. there's no doubt harley—davidson is a classic american brand with more than a century of history. but it's the future success of this company that is important notjust to employees but also president trump. he could find his fortunes are linked to firms like harley. america first was welcomed as a positive message but the road ahead has dangers if the president continues to push his protectionist policy. although the president talks about a

level playing field, the state is paying out billions of dollars in subsidies. that perhaps doesn't fit with some of the messages from donald trump ba rdwell steers with some of the messages from donald trump bardwell steers and with constant they are waiting to see whether he left references harley—davidson. he will not be able to escape the company, some police officers have been riding alongside him on harley—davidson motorbikes. thank you forjoining us. what is at sta ke thank you forjoining us. what is at stake with the summit? if trouble proceeds with the nato summit and a meeting with mr putin with the repeat of his performances at the g-7 repeat of his performances at the

g—7 weird for some real trouble because that means he will be alienating allies, chastising them for not paying their fair share according his terms of the nato defence budget and then he will walk into a meeting with putin and potentially give away concessions in return for who knows what but not likely a whole lot other than rhetoric. the nato chief said he welcomes the summit, the dialogue is good. and he is right but i'd be should support dialogue between the us and russia at all levels but let's talk about the context in which the summit is taking place. we have today ongoing cyber intrusion into our critical infrastructure network in the united states. we have russians holding 70 russian political prisoners hostage, some of them tortured. shelling civilians in ukraine. having a summit on this is counter—productive and sends a

message that we have nothing to do anything to boost putin even if we do not take any action to curtail ongoing aggression against this. do not take any action to curtail ongoing aggression against thislj was ongoing aggression against this.” was struck that he is going to curry favour with the russian president and that would be the position from the british government to trying to hold the line hoping to force a change in attitude from the russians. he is given them a meeting without any concessions coming the other way. furthermore the meeting has not been prepared with a series of deliverables. that is never the case. trappel be going into this meeting and essentially winning it with lavinia putin has 18 years of governing experience with geopolitics as opposed to trump boss 18 months. you can see the scope for it going wrong because trump goes into it desperately wanting to sell something you can brand as success and mr putin knowing that. thank you. i feel like we're discussing

the summit of north korea again, the same issues, the lack of agenda and tangible deliverables. what is becoming clear is president trump for better or worse things that these face—to—face meetings are an essential part of his foreign policy. it was interesting last nightan policy. it was interesting last night an official here briefing us from the european council said that there is a pattern here, the palace climate change, irvine, the g—7, this is a president that you have two view as seeing european countries as enemies rather than friends. that is potentially the problem is if we have a rerun of what happened at the g—7 and he has this friendly relationship with

vladimir putin the going to be scratching their heads. in the guardian newspaper today they will ask you should we start to look at the united states as a hostile state ? you'd be forgiven for thinking football fans rooting for their team in the england belgium match tonight will want their side to win. think again. both countries have already guaranteed qualification for the world cup's round of 16, which means the team taking the top spot is what's at stake. but things are slighly different this time round. many of the big teams are underperforming, and one half of the draw is stacked with dangerous opposition. in other words, the winner of tonight's match would potentially have to face the likes of brazil and france to get to the final, while the losing team could make it all the way to the same spot, only needing to beat sweden and denmark in the quarterfinals and last four. let's pick this up with olly foster who's in moscow for us. is coming second a known strategy?

when you look at the teams playing right now, england and belgium, there's a combined 17 changes so very unfamiliar england and belgium teams. but certainly in this insta nce teams. but certainly in this instance whoever finishes second in gi’oup instance whoever finishes second in group g, england currently on top, would by far have an easier path to the final. japan and are awaiting for the winners of this group in the last 16. colombia are awaiting for the runners—up in the script. if you area the runners—up in the script. if you are a run at up in the script then you have got possibly a sweden or switzerland then spain, russia, croatia denmark as a possible semifinalist. that is quite a softer route to the final. but if you when it you have got japan, then

route to the final. but if you when it you have gotjapan, then brazil, mexico, possibly in the quarterfinal then possibly you require uruguay, argentina france or portugal in the semifinal. it is 0—0 as it stands and england going through despite all these changes. in this instance, certainly there have been no shame whatsoever and finishing second. somehow conjuring a defeat or a draw of getting lots of bookings and finishing below belgium that way.- you telling me that in the last five minutes of this game they are going to be exchanging files to get booked and we were going to have all manner of cards? the belgians are already at it, the owner eddie god put only. i think this is death —— they already got booked early. we had two cracking matches earlier, colombia

against senegal, columbia winning 1-0 against senegal, columbia winning 1—0 which propelled into the top of the group. that is who is waiting for belgium as it stands. the one goal separated them and senegal going outjust on this fair play table because they had six yellow cards and japan even though they lost to poland finished below japan. all will be revealed, the path to the final in the next hour. thank you. the only way is up for me because the last time i came to a summitand then because the last time i came to a summit and then watched england and a competitive match was in the chips and they lost to iceland. if they lose to belgium tonight i can at least celebrate that perhaps we have an easier way to the final. this is beyond 100 days from the bbc. coming up for viewers on the bbc news channel

and bbc world news — how much did british spies know about the rendition and treatment of prisoners after nine eleven? and the promise of free beer in california if mexico can break its world cup curse.that‘s still to come. another scorching hot day across many parts of the country. in porthmadog in northern wales we recorded 33 degrees, just a fraction under, not a record but hot enough. and the heatwave is expected to continue for a few more days yet. cloudless skies across the uk, just a bit of morning mist and fog around north sea coasts. this is what the weather looks like on friday across much of europe, basking in the sunshine, temperatures widely exceeding 30 degrees in many areas and into the mid—20s across southern parts of scandinavia as well. first thing on friday morning,

temperatures hovering round 11 or 12 in most major towns and cities, perhaps mid—teens in the lowlands of scotland and other western parts of the country after that really hot thursday. first thing in the morning probably be cloudy, quite widely across east of england and possibly the midlands and southeast but very quickly the clouds will melt away and we will see temperatures shooting up across the country. notice the yellow colours, closer to north sea coast. a lot fresher, newcastle may be only around 18, 21 in norwich but across western and southern areas will see textures temperatures in the mid—or high 20s. maybe even at 30 degrees once again. friday and into the weekend, the weather map doesn't change an awful lot, the high—pressure still with us which means it's settled, dry and sunny conditions and temperatures in the south of the country expected to rise a little, approaching 30 across southern parts of the uk. in the north that looks like temperatures will ease back down just a touch so and glasgow 25 rather than the low 30s. in the south, approaching the high 20s if not 30.

on sunday, we watch this weather system here, the risk it will bring some showers. much welcome shambles, across some south—western part of the country but at the moment it looks as though most of the rainfall is going to be out to sea and that means that many parts of the country once again will be basking in the sunshine. let's call it a risk of catching some shambles and maybe thunderstorms across south—western areas but many parts of the country basking in the sunshine and temperatures once again approaching 30 in the south and a little less hot in the north. this is beyond 100 days, with me, jane o'brien, in washington. christian fraser's in brussels. our top stories: migration dominates tonight's brussels summit as german chancellor angela merkel urges european leaders to work

together to find a solution. the debate on migration overshadows theresa may's plans to give brussels reassurance on the current state of the brexit talks, coming up in the next half—hour: donald trump visits the home of harley davidson after accusing the company of waving the white flag by moving some of its production overseas. england are currently drawing 0—0 against belgium in the world cup in russia let us know your thoughts by using the hashtag #beyond100days. so often when i come to these eu summits, the leaders look to the queen of europe for the answers. well, not this time. today, it's the german chancellor fighting for her political life, this time she is looking for answers from the rest. europe can ill afford political instability in germany,

which is why the stakes at this summit are so high. the stakes are high too for theresa may. not only must she navigate a tricky conversation over dinner this evening in which there will undoubtedly be criticism over the slow pace of brexit, but next week she will hold a crunch meeting with her cabinet. and from that meeting will come, hopefully, a blueprint of the kind of relationship the uk aspires to with the eu. nothing is straightforward. it never is when it comes to brexit. the doctrine ministers today said, great, we will get plans from the british in two weeks. it is just two yea rs british in two weeks. it is just two years too late. it is that frustration. they do understand why it is difficult for theresa may to get her cabinet to agree. should they be listening to noises from the foreign secretary? or should date

only listen to theresa may when she is sequestered away with european leaders tonight? the frustration has built over a two—year period. the reality is, before she can get more traction here, theresa may has to do a deal at home first. will angola merkel have a bit more sympathy with theresa may over the deficient in her own side? even though the eu and the uk are sitting opposite each other at the table, making quite a few unhappy noises at theresa may, there is a lot of sympathy personally with a leader he is in hot water at home because plenty of the leaders here have had that experience and none less than angela merkel. her downfall has been predicted many times before and like to reason may she manages to survive another day. she used to be seen as politically unassailable in europe, but now she is in an uncomfortable position of coming here with a

begging bowl. arun interior minister has said to her you have to come back from his summit with workable pan—european solution is to stop the migrant problem or i will start taking german law into my own hands. that is in total defiance to her. if he does that after the summit he could bring down her government. she has come here today saying if we don't solve this migrant crisis this could be the beginning of the end of the european union. she knows the most likely political end will be hers unless she can really get some compromises out of eu leaders. it will not be easy. they have had three years to fight and becker and they are still going strong. there will be some compromise, whether it will be some compromise, whether it will be some compromise, whether it will be an upper angola merkel...e this is what the british newspapers are urging theresa may to do, to get everybody around the table and if they can get a solution, she has to leave. that has been put on the

table by people also in her own team. a senior conservative a couple of weeks ago said to her that she should walk out. apparently she said in response she can only walk out once and she may need to walk out during the next phase of the negotiations when they are talking about the big issues around trade, migration and the economy. walking out of the talks is not the same as walking away with no deal. there is a sense of how much you up the ante. in the next eight and could well see that theresa may goes further in toughening up urging with the european leaders. when push comes to shove, what you always get when you come here, and most people in westminster— believe this as well, the european union has a stronger hand to play here. from westminster it is always about the two sides of the tory party, the tory rebels that they have the whip pan, or at the brexiteers? here it is a very

different game altogether. supposedly, the hope on the british side, perhaps an emergency summit in september, the unity will start to fracture and national interests might serve to come to the fore. but what national interest exactly? the eu feels it holds all the cards. there will be some push back against the commission. it is the money below average? security is the big h. theresa may has known the beginning. the eu benefits from uk intelligence. during the of negotiations we heard how much the uk benefits from european intelligence. there is an absolute feeling here that we need each other, whether over the russia poisonings in the uk recently or cross—border terror attacks, poisonings in the uk recently or cross— border terror attacks, eu leaders are not happy at the hard line the commission has taken about sticking to the rules. you will see some pushback they are. these are

negotiations and they are uncomfortable. everybody is going to try and seems strong. the end of the day, even though both sides today will threaten the deal, wants that. because that would be detrimental to everybody. they will do their utmost to avoid it. if you did a straw poll and asked british people who their hair icon was, i think it's fair to say donald trump wouldn't be top of the list. maybe not for nigel farage, though. the former uk independence party leader sent the internet into a frenzy after appearing on tv with very blonde looking hair, with speculation he was hoping to align his appearence closer to that of the us president's. here's the pair side by side. mr farage has rubbished the claims, saying his blonde—looking locks was merely down to spending "a week in sunny cornwall".

idid i did talk to him and i said, you look a bit different? he said it is because he is a little bit more svelte as he doesn't run ukip any more he can take care hot. i will bat for him here, and say i don't think he he is trying to copy donald trump, but he certainly has the time 110w trump, but he certainly has the time now to focus more trump, but he certainly has the time now to focus more on trump, but he certainly has the time now to focus more on his appearance. now, while they continue to talk here in brussels, tempers are flaring in washington. the deputy attorney general, rod rosenstein, was testifying before lawmakers today and got quite an earful. yes, some conserative republicans say they're not getting enough information about either the russia investigation or the clinton email probe. here is one of the testier exchanges. why did you hide the fact that they

we re why did you hide the fact that they were friends, why did you redact that? i am the deputy eternal general of the united states, not the person doing different acting. i am responsible to respond to your concerns. this do with me isjust a fraction of the in my hand. when you have brought things to my attention i have ta ken have brought things to my attention i have taken steps to address them. rod rosenstein is one of the most controlled meant you would want to meet, but here he was visibly angry because he is being attacked by his own party. he is a trump appointee. he isa own party. he is a trump appointee. he is a republican, yet they are questioning his integrity, his honesty and he has to pushback. this is an extraordinary scene. yes, but

he is coming under attack from both sides, isn't he? president trump is putting the republicans up to this. up putting the republicans up to this. up to putting the republicans up to this. uptoa putting the republicans up to this. up to a point. he calls the russia investigation a witchhunt, saying it is distracting and the republicans wa nt is distracting and the republicans want and servers. to that extent, yes, but to turn around and continued this really testy relationship with the department of justice and the fbi is extraordinary. we know that the fbi and the department ofjustice feel very undermined by this. president trump has been speaking in wisconsin and our reporter chris buckler was listening to what he said. let's find out more from him now. chris, what is the latest? yes, president trump has been defending his trade tactics yet again on the stage of box con. this is the next —— an electronics company that is coming to wisconsin and bringing with a potentially up to 13,000 jobs. in recent days, the focus has

been on harley—davidson and their threat to move production out of america. harley—davidson is said company that is linked so strongly with wisconsin. he has avoided talking about harley—davidson so far, but he has talked about the european union and specifically those trade tariffs that have led to this tit—for—tat battle where ta riffs have this tit—for—tat battle where tariffs have been put on in one place and imports are also facing tariffs. harley—davidson has been a victim of that with their motor cycles. president trump has claimed here in wisconsin is that as far as here in wisconsin is that as far as he is the european union is showing signs of perhaps caving. he said putting on these tariffs would a lwa ys putting on these tariffs would always fire them back to the negotiation table. he said don't tell them i told you this, but they have already phoned up. they already wa nt to have already phoned up. they already want to talk about negotiating, about trying to get rid of these

ta riffs about trying to get rid of these tariffs again. they want to talk about trade or stumps of president trump seems to think he has had a breakthrough. it'll be interesting to see what the european union has to see what the european union has to say in response. there is no question that they want to have the bidders because they want to head offa bidders because they want to head off a trade war. the eu president would love to have a meeting with him here at next month. if he slaps ta riffs him here at next month. if he slaps tariffs on german cars, those cars predominantly are made in the united states and again would affect american workers. i will tell you, he has already been talking about european cars. b&w got a special mention on the stage here in wisconsin and again he has been saying as far as he is concerned, if cards are imported into the us from the european union then they will be slapped with tariffs. his argument

was, frankly, they don't want dark hours, then why should we put up at them? even suggested that we take their cars, they don't even want corn back from us. at the same time, he has also been seen to give a suggestion that he did want to try and have some talks. he was hard talking here, christian. he was saying that as far as he is concerned, he wants to try to stand up concerned, he wants to try to stand upfor concerned, he wants to try to stand up for america and it wasn't given any indication he was going to back down. ultimately, it is where the ca i’s down. ultimately, it is where the cars are made. it is wide harley—davidson are looking at factories abroad, particularly thailand. it is already shutting down a factory in kansas to move production to thailand to try to get around these tariffs. companies will do whatever they can to make their business pay for them. this is beyond 100 days. still to come: as a shortage of carbon dioxide forces pubs in britain to ration their beer supplies. we'll be finding out why victory for the mexican football

team could lead to free beer in california. around 100 soldiers have arrived to help firefighters in greater manchester tackle a moorland blaze that has been burning forfour days. fire brigade leaders say they fear it could last for weeks because of the continuing hot weather. there are seven square miles of moorland near saddleworth which have been smouldering with pockets of fire since sunday. judith moritz reports. in the battle between players and firefighter, there is not yet a winner. belching and burning, fire has overwhelmed this land, but the effort has just stepped up. has overwhelmed this land, but the effort hasjust stepped up. more boots on the ground, the army arrived this morning tojoin boots on the ground, the army arrived this morning to join the fight. troops given masks, handed hoses and put straight to work. to

getan hoses and put straight to work. to get an idea of the scale of the past week took a ride up to the very top of the more with the crew from bolton. we drove to the summit. it is very difficult because it is clearly very hot, very smoky and up where we are on top of the hill that water supplies are very limited. these firefighters remitting continual journeys from ground these firefighters remitting continualjourneys from ground level to ta ke continualjourneys from ground level to take water becomes higher up. this really is the fire front line. it is very hot beer and you can see how smoky it is. getting water to this level is like bringing back up sub—air hillside on an industrial scale. this scene is repeated across this more land. this is one of six places where they are fighting the fire. there is help from the air, too. with no rain forecast, this is the next best thing, helicopters dumping water collected from nearby

reservoirs. dumping water collected from nearby reservoirs . crews dumping water collected from nearby reservoirs. crews have come from as far as gloucestershire. they will work up here until nightfall and be back again at first light, using everything in their power, both high—tech and low, to be this fire for good. so many fraut issues for the european union to deal with at the moment. not least the worsening relations with the united states. at midnight tonight the eu introduces tit—for—tat tarrifs on a whole list of american goods, harley davidson, orange juice, bourbon and so on. last night, an official from the european council told us their experience of president trump had been very negative, on the paris climate deal, on trade, on iran. they said that they were very concerned that these are notjust incidents, but a pattern. marietje shaake is an mep for the netherlands and vice chair of the eu delegation for relations with the united states. she's with me now.

in wisconsin today, president trump said you're calling up, desperate for these tariffs to be lifted. he thinks he is winning the battle.” also heard saying that the european union was established to take advantage of the united states, so is misguided and wrong on a lot of history and also wrong on what the impact of this trade tariffs will be. can you tell us how these ta riffs be. can you tell us how these tariffs will be implemented? did he come in from midnight tonight? yes, they will enter into force to rebalance the impact of what the americans have created by imposing blanket tariffs on steel and

aluminium which also impact us in europe. but we have to do, even though we were prepared to de—escalate this very unnecessary tension, is rebalance and also impose tariffs on specific american goods and hopefully that will clarify the lose lose situation that a trade confrontation really is. isn't that the bid to lift the de—escalation at this point? isn't that the bid to lift the de-escalation at this point? where will this end? de-escalation at this point? where will this end ? it's de-escalation at this point? where will this end? it's in the hands of the americans more than in our hands. we have to keep our heads cool in europe. i know there are a lot of americans in the private sector, in civil society, american citizens who are very concerned about where president trump is taking the united states. such a sharp u—turn from history and the strength of the transatlantic relationship, which doesn't only lead to benefits for both of our economies and societies, but is also deeply rooted in share values. it is

important that we keep reaching out to like—minded americans to make sure that people here also understand that the white house is not the only one engaging with europeans. clearly he is not listening to those like—minded americans, so what can you do?: can you hold the site? well, whether he is listing or not depends on whether these americans speak out and i'm thinking specifically about members of congress who are there to apply checks and balances and it would be good if we could hear more from them before it is too late. what we can do is rebalance by imposing tariffs ofa do is rebalance by imposing tariffs of a room when it comes to trade, engaging with partners around the world who believe in a multilateral rules —based trade system and to wa nt to rules —based trade system and to want to preserve it. i think it is absolutely necessary to see more european leadership and outreach to like—minded countries worldwide and to not get drawn in to some kind of

losing game that president trump thinks he can win. temp one, thank you very much for your thoughts, very interesting. the parliamentary committee that oversees the work of the intelligence and security services has accused the uk of tolerating "inexcusable" treatment of detainees by the united states. it says intelligence staff witnessed 13 incidents after the september 11th terror attacks in 2001 where detainees were mistreated by the us. but the committee found no evidence that uk officers carried out physical mistreatment. the conservative mp dominic grieve chairs the committee. we have not found any evidence that united kingdom agency officers or defence intelligence personnel directly carried out physical mistreatment of detainees. we have found evidence of united kingdom officers making verbal threats in nine cases. we have also find two cases in which uk personnel were

party to detainees —— detainees mistreatment administered by others. administered by others. joining us now is the advocy director for liberty corey stoughton, who's in our westminster studio. argue confident that you have got to the full extent of what happened in the full extent of what happened in the wake of 2001? no, unfortunately we can't have confidence in that because despite the damning evidence of uk complicity in torture that the parliamentary report reveals, the government directed enormous obstacles government directed enormous o bsta cles to government directed enormous obstacles to getting to the full truth as part of this enquiry. they denied the enquiry access to critical evidence and the enquiry et al concludes that it can't possibly have gotte n al concludes that it can't possibly have gotten to the true bottom of the uk does not pull involvement in torture and mistreatment of detainees in the years after the 911 attacks. it is critical that there

be an independent enquiry with full access to the evidence so we can really get to the bottom of the skill of that involvement and learned the mistake that history teaches us. corey stoughton, there would have been appointed as process for the intelligence services knew what was happening, but the americans were taking the lead and presumably what was coming from that was intelligence that they thought would useful to save british lives, and probably did say british lives. every one to draw that conclusion we should do that based on poll evidence. if we're going to say that torture and mistreatment was worth because of the intelligence gathered, then we should know that intelligence. until we have a full independent enquiry we can come to a full conclusions about whether this isa full conclusions about whether this is a sorry chapter in uk history or a price of democracy is willing to pay for security. do you think it will never happen again, lessons

learned? unfortunately, the report isa damning learned? unfortunately, the report is a damning indictment of the uk government has failed to failed to ta ke to government has failed to failed to take to ensure that we have learned from the mistakes of the past. the existing guidance that was made public in 2010 that is designed to prevent this kind of mistreatment or complicity from happening again is described as another quote. the report condemns the government was my failure to test whether that guidance is fit for purpose and condemns the failure to continue to track information that would be necessary to test whether the guidance is being complied with. in addition to the full independent enquiry, we need an open consultation on the guidance that are designed to prevent uk complicity in torture sophie kamlish be sure it is fit for purpose and that we have a set of rules that ensures that the uk is not unwittingly or wittering —— or

wittingly being complicit in torture and mistreatment of detainees. thank you forjoining us. it is interesting that this is still going on all the years after 2001, not just in the uk but here in the us, it was popped up again on the appointment of the new cia director, who was involved in the cia black sites. many people say we will never get to the bottom of what actually happened. yes, and i think what has come out of this today seems to me that they obviously knew because on at least two occasions they were in the vicinity when the torture was taking place. there are obviously questions for the british authorities. what will disturb people is that lessons have been learned and this might still be happening because the things have not been put in place that need to be. it is all very disturbing.

if you live in california and haven't decided who to back in this year's world cup, you might think about your southern neighbour, as it could mean free beer. bud light announced on twitter earlier this month that if mexico beats brazil and advances to the quarter—finals, it will help pay for customers' beer. the offer will be put to the test on monday when the side tries to end the ‘curse of the fifth game' — which refers to mexico not being able to advance past their fifth match in the tournament since 1994. salt in the wind, given there is a beer shortage in the uk! now christian, before we go, we were talking earlier about nigel farage's new hair do — but on second thought — ijust can't help but wonder whether mr farage is the only one sporting the trump look. take a look at this. i think that's due in the middle, isn't that?” take a look at this. i think that's due in the middle, isn't that? i was going to say, when you are

mentioning hair icons, you know, i'm not impartial to a bit of trump, the sweep over! i have gone even more to the site of that photo was taken, as well! i always thought you were ginger. and you start, i had that from katty kay over the last weeks. all my belgian friend standard glued to the match say it is still 0—0. i'm off to the pub after this to see what happens. thank you very much for watching. from me andjim, what happens. thank you very much forwatching. from me andjim, we will see you next week. —— jane. another scorching hot day across many parts of the country. in northern wales we recorded 33

celsius. not a record, but hot enough. the heatwave is expected to continue for a few more days. cloudless skies across the uk, just a bit of morning mist and fog on the north sea coast. this is what the weather looks like on friday across much of europe. we are basking in the sunshine. temperature is widely exceeding 30 degrees in many areas and into the mid—20s in parts of scandinavia, as well. first on friday morning, temperatures will hover around 11 or 12 in towns and cities, perhaps the mid—teens in the lowla nds cities, perhaps the mid—teens in the lowlands of scotland's hands in the western parts of the country after that very warm thursday. it will be cloudy in the east of england's, possibly the midlands and south east as well, but the clouds will quickly be burnt away. it will be a lot fresher on the north sea coast. in

many western and southern areas, we could see temperatures in the high 20s, maybe 30 degrees once again. friday, the weather map does not change a lot. this high pressure is still with us, meaning settle, dry, sunny conditions. the temperatures in the south of the country are expected to rise a little bit. we could be getting 30 degrees and southern parts of the uk. in the north, it looks like the temperatures will ease back down a bit. 25 degrees in glasgow, rather than in the low 30s, whereas in the south we are approaching the high 20s if not dirty. on sunday, there isa 20s if not dirty. on sunday, there is a risk this weather system could bring some much welcomed showers across south—western part of the country but at the moment it looks as though most of the rainfall will be out to sea. that means that many parts of the country once again on sunday will be basking in the sunshine. let's call it a risk of catching some showers, maybe some sand storms —— thunderstorms.

temperatures will be approaching 30 in the south and in the north just that little bit less hot. goodbye. this is bbc news i'm shaun ley. the headlines at 8pm. a british nurse is found guilty of trafficking nigerian women — in a legal first for such a crime committed outside the uk. she will call me to say she needs money. she doesn't even know if i have enough to eat, she does not care about me, she only wants money, money. a firefighter tells the grenfell tower inquiry how he clung onto his colleague as he dangled out the window — trying to tackle the flames. mps say britain tolerated what they call the "inexcusable" treatment of us detainees after the 9/11 attacks. eu leaders arrive in brussels for a crucial summit — as theresa may reaffirms her commitment to continue brexit talks at a faster pace. 100 soldiers help tackle the blaze near saddleworth moor — as the authorities warn the fire may
